Soomaali iyaduun baa is dilaysa ,,, ama TFG dheh, ama ICU dheh ama shaydaan kele sheeg ,,,, after all waa soomaali uun ,,,,,, xabashina intuu muqdisho yimid cid kumuu dilin ee soomaali uun baa u adeegaysay ,,,,,,,,

This is an old news ,,,,,,,,,,,,

I believe this shows how Eriteria don't have any influence in the organization ,,,, it looks like a desperate decision to me coz they would looby for more if they can do so. Another option is that Eriteria wants to do something and it is suspending its IGAD's membership so that it can paypass the IGAD laws. I don't believe we have more ties with them more than Ethiopis ,,,, onething for sure is the hatred towards Ethiopia and that is a transitional political period.

Inaallilaaaaaaaaah ,,,,,,,,,,,

Aniguba waan leeyahay taas ,,,,,,, coz they still my brothers and sisters But we are both from Somaliland ,,,,,,,,

You can hold another passport as everybody is entitled to have multiple passports by the law. But i'm telling you sxb you are a SOMALILANDER How many times should i tell you this ???

Success in a rough neighbourhood Geoff Hill It is amazing how fast a country can heal under the right hands. A return to the economic prosperity of the mid-1990s, or even the early 1970s, may take time; Zimbabwe can come right. People often cite Mozambique and Zambia as examples of basket cases that have been turned around, but I have not been impressed by either. The Portuguese, for all their errors, turned Mozambique into a major producer of cashews. They established world-class national parks and a good network of roads and railways. The late Samora Machel destroyed all that. His successor, Joachim Chissano, worked hard to undo the damage, but the country still falls way short of its potential. Corruption is rampant, from village officials demanding bribes for cattle permits to big amounts changing­ hands for government contracts in Maputo. Mozambique has improved on the disaster created by Frelimo in its early days, but it is hardly an example to others. Zambia was dragged down by the bumbling one-party state of Kenneth Kaunda. From 1992, his successor, Frederick Chiluba, corrupted what had been an honestly incompetent public sector. President Levy Mwanawasa is doing his best to make up for almost four lost decades since independence. By the end of his term in 2011, we might see Zambia as a new model for Africa to follow, but the jury is still out. If I sound like an Afro-pessimist, nothing could be more wrong. There are countries that serve as examples of what can be achieved in a new Zimbabwe. In 2004, I was in Kigali to report on the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. It was my first visit to Rwanda. What a surprise! It's easy to imagine that the 10 weeks of slaughter in 1994 were the time when Rwanda collapsed, but the previous 32 years since independence from Belgium had been a disaster. Colonial infrastructure decayed, roads washed away, the forests were cut down. Rwanda quickly became a dictatorship with few economic prospects. The media fell under state control and personal freedoms withered. In July 1994, Paul Kagame's forces overthrew the government in Kigali and stopped the genocide. They took command of a failed state -- littered with corpses. Today you would hardly know it. Step off the street into a call box and the phone rings out. Tarred roads link all parts of the country, investment is growing faster than anywhere else in East Africa, and the currency is stable. As early as 2000, GDP had jumped by almost 50%. Rwanda is an easy place to do business and probably the most crime-free country in Africa. These are the decisive factors in the transformation wrought by Kagame: depoliticising the police and public service; bringing talent home from exile; punishing corruption; creating a relatively transparent government; fostering growth in the private sector; minimising demands for "local ownership"; lifting most restrictions on foreign exchange; and healing old wounds through legal trials for human-rights abusers. These are all challenges that face Zimbabwe. Rwanda is almost a textbook case to follow -- but not entirely. Kagame's biggest error has been to jail political opponents on spurious grounds. He has sought to limit freedom of the press by passing two acts of repressive legislation, provoking genuine resentment of his heavy-handed tactics. There is a risk that these laws could undo Kagame's government. The example of Singapore suggests that authoritarian rule can last if there is sufficient prosperity so that people don't care. Not in Rwanda. At least a third of the country's population live on less than $1 a day. But, in spite of these mistakes, Kagame has forged a template for rebuilding a nation from scratch. The other example is less known, but even more impressive. The former British Somaliland achieved independence in 1960 and, a week later, joined with Italian Somaliland in the south to create Somalia. The marriage was a disaster, with southerners in Mogadishu dominating the government. Under the one-party rule of president Siad Barre, festering resentments culminated in genocide in the north of the country. When a coup dislodged Barre in 1991, warlords took over the south, and the country became partitioned. Somaliland seized the chance to declare unilateral independence, on May 18 1991. To this day, no other nation formally recognises the government in Hargeisa. But most countries accept their passports. At Ghana's celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of independence of March this year, Somaliland President Dahir Riyale Kahin was received with full honours accorded a head of state. Somalilanders are rightly proud of their achievements. Whereas in Mogadishu, capital of Somalia, you can barely move without finding your path obstructed by an AK-47, the only rifles I saw in Hargeisa were in the hands of soldiers. They were courteous, disciplined and well turned out. As in Rwanda, the phones work and roads are reasonably good. Private capital is pouring in, mostly from Somalilanders living abroad. Somaliland has a GDP more than double that of Somalia, which is, geographically, four times as large. I was struck by the example of sound governance and administration in Somaliland when I covered its general election of September 2005. If only Zimbabwe could have an election like that -- with parties free to campaign, a total absence of intimidation, daily newspapers and even a TV station in private hands. The achievement is especially striking, given the country's brutal history. On the sandy banks of the Maroodijeex River that runs through Hargeisa, I walked among thousands of human bones. These are the skeletons of men, women and children gunned down by Barre's troops. Today those war criminals have retreated south of the Somaliland border. Unlike Rwanda, there have been few trials. The absence of justice leaves an air of unfinished business. Zimbabwe too will have to bring the killers and torturers to justice before lasting peace can be found. There are other serpents in Somaliland. The environment has been ravaged. Read the accounts of district commissioners from the 1920s and Somaliland claimed a profuse variety of forests, savannahs and wildlife -- including the Big Five -- to rival Kenya. Today almost the entire country has been stumped, top soil has washed into the Gulf of Aden and you would be lucky to spot a rabbit on the barren plains. Ironically, perhaps, Somaliland is luring displaced Zimbabweans to settle and set up an agricultural sector. Doctors are in chronically short supply. Literacy rates are improving, but still below 50%. In common with Rwanda and Zimbabwe, research suggests that much of the population suffers from post-traumatic stress -- a measure of the brutality they have either witnessed or experienced. Press freedoms are fragile. Earlier this year, Somaliland's leading independent daily newspaper, Haatuf, was closed down and four of its journalists jailed. Haatuf had published allegations of misuse of government property by the president and his family. The journalists were "pardoned" after an outcry by human rights groups, but the incident has damaged the country's standing. Even so, political life in Somaliland is more democratic than in many Africa states. Administration is effective. From all I saw, the territory has a great future. A new Zimbabwe can learn from these examples. There will need to be a return of exiles and their money and a rush of new capital. To achieve this, there must be freedom -- both political and civil, an end to corruption, a new police force and space for the media to operate without interference. Can Zimbabwe be rebuilt in the short term? Yes, definitely yes! Rwanda and Somaliland are proof. Geoff Hill is bureau chief Africa for the Washington Times and author of What Happens After Mugabe?

Leaving IGAD doesn't heal the problem ,,, it is just giving more chances to Ethiopia as i said earlier. Yes they show their sympathy to somalis but leaving IGAD doesn't mean they are rescuing them.

Mogadishu 22, April.07 ( Sh.M.Network) Dowladda Eritrea ayaa waxa ay shaacisay in ay isaga baxcday urur goboleedka IGAD ka dib markii khilaaf xoogan oo ku saabsan arimaha Somalia uu soo kala dhex galay iyada iyo dowladda ay sida aadka ah isaga soo horjeedaan ee Ethiopia, xilli ay dagaalo culus ay ka soconayaan maalintii 4aad caasimadda Somalia. Ka bixidda ay ku dhawaaqday Eritrea in ay isaga baxday ururka IGAD ayaa waxa ay tilmaam cusub u tahay xumaanshaha uu sii xumaaday xiriirka ka dhaxeeya Asmara iyo dowladaha ku jira IGAD, kaasoo ay sabab u tahay arimaha dalka Somalia. Xukuumadda Eritrea ayaa waxa ay ku qasabanaatay in tlaabadaan ay qaadato, iyadoo ay sabab u tahay xaqiiqada jirta in go'aamo tiro gaaraya oo soo noqnoqda oo Kheyru mas'uulnimo ah oo wiiqaya nabadda iyo amaanka gobolka ayaa ururka IGAD uu qabatimay sida lagu sheegay bayaan dowladda Eritrea ay ku soo daabacday Website keeda. Dowladda KMG ah ee Somalia iyo dowladda ay xulufada ay yihiin ee Ethiopia ayaa ku eedeeya Eritrea in ay wiiqeyso dowladda KMG ah ee Somalia, iyadoo kaalmooyin u fidineysa kooxaha wax iska caabinta ee ku lugta leh dagaalkii ugu xumaa ee ka dhaca magaalada Muqdisho muddo 15 sano ah. Eritrea ayaa waxa ay ku eedeysay dowladaha Mareykanka iyo Ethiopia si aan mas'uuliyad ku saleysneyn in ay faraha la soo galeen arimaha Somalia, ka dib markii ciidamada Ethiopia iyo kuwa dowladda ay meesha ka saareen Maxkamadihii islaamka. Urur goboleedka IGAD ayaa ka kooban dowladaha kala ah Kenya, Uganda, Jabuuti, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia iyo Eritrea.

I'm not saying somaliland is 100% right ,,,, of course every administration has its own mistakes. That is why i'm saying reer muqdisho should come up with better policy.

MOGADISHU, April 22 (Reuters) - Rotting corpses lay in the open and explosions shook Mogadishu on Sunday for a fifth day of battles between insurgents and allied Somali-Ethiopian troops that have killed more than 200 people, residents said. Illustrating regional divisions many say are fomenting the escalating war, Eritrea pulled out of the east African group IGAD after a rift with Ethiopia over Somalia. The feuding neighbours each accuse the other of stirring the conflict. In an ever-growing exodus some say is nearing half a million people, hundreds more Somalis trudged out of Mogadishu on Sunday, dragging and carrying belongings on their head. "I have lost all hope," one woman said, walking at the head of 11 relatives, mainly children. A Reuters correspondent in central Mogadishu was repeatedly woken through the night by the sound of mortars, mainly from the north of the city where the worst fighting has been. Insurgents are barricaded behind makeshift sandbanks and race through streets on pickups turned into battle-wagons, while Ethiopian and Somali troops fire heavy artillery and make forays into their strongholds with armoured cars. With an insurgency simmering since the ouster of militant Islamist rulers from Mogadishu over the New Year, this week's violence has been one of the worst sustained flare-ups since then. A previous four-day spike in battles at the end of March killed at least 1,000 people, mainly civilians. Bodies lay on the streets on Sunday, some mutilated and decapitated by incessant shelling that has pulverised residential neighbourhoods considered Islamist strongholds. MAKESHIFT GRAVES With Somalis keen to bury their dead quickly in accord with Muslim custom, some were digging makeshift graves by the road. The Islamists ruled most of south Somalia for the second half of 2006, before being defeated by the interim government and its Ethiopian military backers in a war over the New Year. But Islamist fighters -- backed by some disgruntled ****** clan elements and foreign jihadists -- have regrouped to rise up against President Abdullahi Yusuf's administration and his Ethiopian backers whom they regard as hated foreign invaders. Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of sending arms and men to support the Islamists, while Asmara says Addis Ababa is occuping Somalia illegally at the behest of the United States. Eritrea's exit from the seven-member Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) was a blow to diplomatic efforts to unite foreign opinion on pacifying Somalia. "The Government of Eritrea was compelled to take the move due to the fact that a number of repeated and irresponsible resolutions that undermine regional peace and security have been adopted in the guise of IGAD," said a statement on the government Web site, shabait.com. A meeting of IGAD foreign ministers two weeks ago in Kenya became a forum for the festering feud between Ethiopia and Eritrea, still bitter over their 1998-2000 border war and now locked in what many analysts see as a proxy war in Somalia. Kenya, Uganda, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea are the countries who make up the east African bloc. The United Nations says more than 321,000 residents have fled Mogadishu since February, but locals put the figure higher. "I think it's nearer 500,000 now," said the head of a Somali think-tank, who asked not to be named because of the precarious security situation.

and who broke that uninon ????

Farsamo xumo always brings you problems ,,,,, They are my ppl too as long as they are Muslims and Somalis ,,, i never denied i'm SOMALI and i'll be a somali ,,,, countries might differ though Somaliland has Sheikhs, Scholars and even the founder of Al-Itihad is in Burao and with this we managed to have peace, build a friendship strategy with all the neighboring countries and stand still. We need no one to come here and make him his pace to attack others ,,,, In Mogadishu they lack this kind of policy and everyone is threatening Kenya and/or Ethiopia ,,, i remember Abdiqasim wearing a military dress and threatening Ethiopia ,,,, it was yesterday when Sh. Sharif was doing almost the same and Hasan Turki was saying they'll go to Addis ,,,,,,,,,,, i mean you need to assess what you have before you threat anyone ,,,,, you sometimes need to negotiate with you enemy and make a very big compromises just like our Prophet Mohamed (SCW) did in his early stages. I don't support handing over a muslim to a Ethiopians but in general anyone who wants to fight Ethiopia should go there and fight.

I think the group consists of only one or two persons ,,,, these days it is easy someone to sit behind the PC screen and name himself whateva he wants ,,,,, publish some fake reports and make funny declarations.

and what is making you mad about the issue ?? We've been living with criticism for the past 16 years ,,,, you can criticise as much as you like but what is really funny is someone whose house is burning in Mogadishu wants to jump all the way to somaliland. it is better to fix your own problems before judging the others that are far from you. Comparing A/Yusuf and Rayaale is another new story ,,,,,,,, not woth replaying to it ,,,
